Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Notes

For a healthier option, you can reduce the sugar content or use applesauce to replace some of the oil. Feel free to add nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture.
